The Great Hollywood: a new film history workshop is on the way

From Monday 7 September, you can enrol on the new film history workshop led by Marco Luceri, entitled “The Great Hollywood: The Golden Age of American Cinema (1910–1960)”. An exciting journey through the period that defined the language of modern cinema, from the dawn of the Hollywood industry to the end of the studios’ golden age. The workshop will explore the evolution of American cinema between 1910 and 1960, analysing filmmakers, genres, technical innovations and cultural transformations that have shaped the history of the seventh art. From the pioneers of silent film to the advent of sound, from the system of major production companies to stardom, right through to the masterpieces of directors such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder, Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, the sessions will provide the tools to understand the historical, aesthetic and production context of a unique era. Through the screening and analysis of iconic film sequences, participants will discover how classic American cinema established narrative, visual and cultural models that remain fundamental to this day.

Info: Schedule: Tuesday 20 October, 3 and 17 November, 1 and 15 December (6.30 pm – 8 pm); Season ticket for the 5 sessions: €120 (€60 for under-25s) – early bird: if you purchase the season ticket by 30 September, the price is €60 for everyone. The season ticket is available from 7 September exclusively at the bookshop’s till (daily 10.00–20.00).

The restaurant

Caffè Odeon, a place to nourish mind and body

Open daily: 11:30 AM - 12:00 AM

Caffè Odeon in Florence was born from the encounter with the Giunti publishing house, and from the project to give new life to the historic Odeon cinema, transforming it into a multifunctional cultural center.

The idea is simple and ambitious: to create a space open all day, like the great Mitteleuropean cafés, where you can enjoy dishes from different gastronomic traditions, a varied pastry selection, a carefully curated coffee service, as well as wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.

Eating, drinking a coffee or a good glass of wine have much in common with reading a book or watching a film: they are different ways of experiencing stories, through the senses. It is this connection that makes our dream a reality.
